Week 8

• Dam begins to spend a lot more time grooming herself.
• Her breasts become swollen as her milk forms.
• Nesting begins as she looks for a place to have her puppies… Make sure you have her box or spot ready..
• The dam may not have as big of an appetite during this period. Her abdomen can be crowded with puppies.
• You can feel the puppies move now.
• See if you can get her used to her whelping box

Things are progressing nicely as the girls enter their 8 week of pregnancy. I can normally feel movement towards the end of this (the 8th) week. I love laying next to them and feeling babies kick. I will for sure get video as soon as the movement is visible. D
